I like this series, but it’s definitely a little weird.
Michelle seems very powerful at times, and oddly weak at other times. She runs out of energy very quickly. Her friends are weird too. A were-peahen? An octopus-shifter? A 2,000 year old elven boyfriend? A dinosaur golem? Actually, Rexy is the best part of book two. The worst is Tiffany, equal parts useless and demanding. I really liked the first book, and I liked this one enough that I will read the third book.
